Step-by-step

1. Open the front cover and remove the toner/drum assembly.
2. Move the green tab gently back and forth several times.
3. Return the tab exactly to its home position so the arrow marks align.
4. Reinstall the assembly, close the cover, and test print.

Check whether it worked

Repeat the original operation and confirm the problem no longer occurs.

If it still fails

Use the exact model support page; record the full displayed message.
